Isabel Walton did not explain why the poisoning was mentioned, but only gave Henry a rough account of the conversation in the parlor of the Earl of Surrey's manor. When she spoke of the most glorious and darkest side of the Norfolk family in the future, Hyung's eyes widened to express his amazement.

Later, when she said that she might have been guilty of treason, Henry sighed deeply: "Isabel, why do you tell him something that Henry will never get to him?" ”

"Henry, your teenage playmate is always telling himself and everyone else that he has royal blood. So, I just wanted him to know what his royal heritage could bring to him and his father. ”

"You're framing Henry, you're going to curse him and his father!"

"He's your teenage playmate, so you'll naturally protect him. What I want to say is that the affairs of a daughter of a knightly family from the north like me would know, wouldn't the Seymour family, who were hiding in the court, know? ”

The Duke of Richmond looked at her in amazement: "You use this method to tell Henry what kind of danger he and his father may face in the future?" ”

"That's right. Either way, I just hope that your playmate understands his current situation at the court, and is a little more wary of the Seymour family behind the queen. ”

At this time, another thought suddenly popped into Henry's mind, and he wondered if Isabel had fallen in love with the Earl of Surrey. Thinking about it again, my mind actually reflected the scene when the two of them were riding horses in the countryside and talking happily.

The Duke of Richmond's heart was full of jealousy, and he stared at Isabel's delicate face and said, "Isabel, is it because Henry's chivalry that you are grateful?" ”

"What? Henry, are you still in the mood to talk about it? God forbid, you and your playmates are already on a boat that will sink whoever wants to leave early! Do you understand? Isabel stood up and said aloud, thinking she was almost yelling at the Duke of Richmond.

Henry looked up at Isabel with an angry face, and he suddenly felt that maybe he was too suspicious, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Isabel, I just don't understand your intention to help Lord Surrey. ”

Isabel glared at the innocent-looking duke: "Forget it, I don't mind you think so. ”

Seeing that her tone seemed to soften, Henry hurriedly walked up to her side and whispered, "Isabel, please forgive me for being rude to you, this is probably the reason why I have never really loved someone. ”

"Well, don't you want to know what's going on with poisoning? I'll tell you. Isabel added quickly, "I showed Lord Surrey what he wanted most. I thought he was going to kill me in order to keep others from knowing what I was talking to him today. ”

After Isabel finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass next to her and wanted to take a sip of wine to moisten her throat. But he was bored, and put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the small table. Henry stood aside and didn't dare to speak, and he began to worry that his casual words might really annoy the other party.

Neither of them spoke for a moment, and Henry returned to his desk and sat down quietly, somewhat bewildered. He was very worried that Isabel would leave the study in anger, and was thinking about how to change the subject when he heard Eugene's knock outside the door.

"Come in." After Henry finished speaking, he saw Sir Augustine, dressed in a full suit of quasi-lancer armor and wearing a cross-knight's sword at his waist, follow the manservant Eugene steadily into the study. After saluting him, Sir said, "Your Highness, your guard and I are ready to go. ”

"Sir, have you brought your horses, enough food, and drink?"

"Yes, Your Highness. I plan to rush back to the county in one day's ride to fulfill my duties. ”

"Good, sir. I will pray to God that he will bless you, Madame Sir and Miss Euphemia. ”

Isabel turned her head to glance at Henry, walked up to Sir and said firmly, "Father, if you encounter a thief on the road, don't fight him. Now, your first business is to carry out the decrees of His Majesty the King and the Privy Council. ”

"Kid, I know how to do it. You are here, and you must keep His Highness safe until His Highness and Lady Mary have completed their marriage ceremony. ”

It was only after Sir Augustine left that Isabel's face improved. He glanced at Henry, who was smiling at him, and walked back to the long back chair and sat down, and said, "Henry, I'm tired." Can you tell me what you want to say before I go back to my room to rest? ”

Henry hurriedly said: "Of course, Your Majesty has already negotiated with the Duke of Norfolk III which church will hold the marriage ceremony of Mary and me, and which nobles, ladies and ladies will be present to congratulate you." ”

"What about time?"

"Your Majesty has set the time for the first Wednesday of August."

"Well, is there anything else you'd like to tell me?"

Henry saw that Isabel never got up and left, so he boldly said, "Isabel, I am very grateful that you will protect me and my playmates. However, I have some concerns about the fact that I was poisoned. As long as you are willing to tell me all this, I will not disturb your mood until the wedding begins. ”

Isabel turned her head to look at him: "So, you intend to introduce me to His Majesty the King, the nobles who were present to congratulate him, and their wives, Mademoiselle, through some clever words at the wedding ceremony?" ”

"You're my Privy Counsellor, why can't I do that?"

"Henry, I am a young unmarried woman from a knightly family, and I am not allowed to hold any kind of office." Isabelle's reluctance to speak out about her gender brought her embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Isabel, but you've taken a very important place in my heart."

"Henry, you'd better leave this position to Lady Mary."

Next, Isabel told Henry in detail about the poisoning that had occurred to her. In the process of telling, the dangers that Henry may encounter are also roughly predicted. Henry, with a solemn face, paced back and forth in the study, and asked the advisor, "You mean, if you can think of poisoning your enemies, then the Seymour family will also think of using this method against me and Lord Surrey?" ”

Isabel pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Lord Surrey and his father are too conspicuous for me to think they would dare to do for a while. However, you are different. ”

"Me? Why? ”

"Because you are the illegitimate child of His Majesty, if you suddenly 'fall ill' and die, His Majesty will not investigate the cause of your death. In this way, the Seymours easily eliminated an enemy who was preventing them from gaining power. ”
